New Building Kits Bring Sports Heroes to Life

October 30th, 2016

Combining collectability and construction play, OYO Sports’ new line of building-block kits lets young sports fans create mini-figures and playsets featuring all their favourite major professional sports licenses.

Although just launched in Canada, kids can already choose from a huge collection of popular athletes like the Blue Jays’ Jose Bautista, and sports leagues, such as the MLB, NHL, NFL, CFL and MLS. And because the kits are created using a technique that employs state-of-the-art computer software and injection molding machines to design, manufacture and package mini-figures and playsets, the collection stays current with real-life lineups.

Each mini-figure kit comes with its own stand and unique identification DNA number, as well as rotating arms, bending knees, and the ability to hold a bat, stick, glove or ball. Three playsets are available (GameTime (hockey) Rink Set, Endzone (football) Set, and Backyard (hockey) Rink set) in a wide variety of licenses, and each includes related sports equipment, such as nets, water bottles and stickers. (Both the mini-figure kits and the playset kits use blocks that are compatible with other popular construction brands.)
